I really loved the first one. This seems like a pretty good price for the new one. Price can be lowered using cdkeys credit or other forms of top ups. Also Deluxe edition is £19.99 for preorder. Released on 31st of August.

I got some credit on cdkeys to make it cheaper and got deluxe edition other day. Looking forward to this :smile:

Yeah, that CDKEYS discount is not gonna work for long term bargain hunters since they implemented the changes

Looking forward to playing this one but I am pretty sure this is the standard price of this prequel, it has been 13.99 on Xbox store since the preorder went up after E3. There is also a deluxe edition for 19.99 if I am not mistaken which includes a bonus episode.

This is a "prequel" made by people who had nothing to do with the first game... Why anyone would buy this what amounts to licensed fan-fiction is beyond me. It's such a blatant cash in.

Have you played it then?

So just a general over-hyped typical misjudging the quality of a game as we witness everyday on HUKD, then? A.K.A if you have not played the game, why are you concluding it is an exploit of the series for the sake of money?

I didn't say anything about the quality of the game. It is a cash in. Spend five minutes reading about it.
Square Enix own the IP rights and sold it to a new dev that built a game engine with the aim of being the new Telltale Games and then went looking for preexisting IPs they could cheaply plug into it. Life Is Strange was just an IP they could afford.
Dontnod, the devs who made Life Is Strange, had NOTHING to do with Before The Storm, had no say in whether it would get made or not, and are currently at work on an actual sequel to their game.
So the moneymen who own the franchise but did not make it, sold a license to an unrelated dev that figured there was a big enough built-in fanbase to make it worth their while. It's a cash-in. That's what a cash in is.
So... your comment was just a general misjudging of the content of another comment as we witness everyday on HUKD, then? A.K.A if you don't understand what someone is saying, why are you arguing against it?

Commercially-released games exist to make money for the developers/publishers/other stakeholders. This doesn't automatically mean that they're poor quality.
This game may end up being good, bad or somewhere in the middle.- it shouldn't be pre-judged to be any of these.

I hear you. Regardless of who made the new game, until I have not played it I won't be able to comment about it. So, too early too judge. But there is no misinterpretation here. If you don't understand what you are saying yourself (or what you mean by saying something) then don't expect others understand you... Unless you put a paragraph like this to explain yourself.

Don't forget you need the deluxe edition if you want the complete complete season.

This is the complete season, it's only 3 episode which all due before end of year. The deluxe version includes a small extra prologue episode 'Farewell' featuring Max, a Mixtape Mode where you can create a playlist of the OST soundtrack and it runs in game with animations and an outfit pack for Chloe.
£13.99 is the standard price for the game across PS4/Xbox One and PC.
Will also be Pro/X enhanced.

Good luck mate, hope you get through it alright :grin:
Will there be a physical Limited Edition like for Season 01?
For now we are focusing entirely on delivering the game to you digitally in an episodic format. Plans for a boxed or Limited Edition have not yet been set.

So that's a yes but buy it first digitally so we make more money......game development for you.

Just by way of clarification, it may worth noting that this isn't the second season; instead, it's a spin-off prequel, from a different developer.

Also it's only 3 episodes. Hence personally I would only purchase on a psn sale for £7.99 or less. I'm not too desperate to play it on release, Christmas sale probably.

Was typing this early morning. I even mentioned the release date is 30th initially. Didn't notice what I'm saying. Thanks for correcting me. :smile:
